De Bock Attachments: org.jbpm.pvm.internal.tx.zip On Oracle Weblogic 10.3, the JTA transaction feature causes an exception. org.jbpm.api.JbpmException: couldn't lookup 'UserTransaction' from jndi: Unable to resolve 'UserTransaction'.

Default Weblogic JNDI reference = 'javax.transaction.UserTransaction' but jBPM 4.2 only support standard JEE specs ('UserTransaction'). With, jBPM 3.3, it's possible to override the jndi name value as a property in the jbpm hibernate config file (<property name="jta.UserTransaction">java:comp/UserTransaction</property>). Ref : http://docs.jboss.org/jbpm/v3/userguide/deployment.html I am not sure that jBPM 4.2 implements that solution. I also know that "JTA Transactions" is in Incubation and is not documented in Developers Guide and that app-servers ohter than jBOSS are not assumed to be supported. Does a actual solution or work-around exist for that problem with released 4.2 version ?
